Volo Wellbeing is a New Zealand-based company providing pure and natural dietary supplements with a specific focus on the connection between physical and mental wellness, by combining medicinal herbs, minerals, and homeopathy.
During the unsettling times of last year, Volo’s founder Antonio Emer Barbalich noticed that he, like many Kiwis, was struggling with increased stress and sleeping difficulties. He sought a solution, knowing he wanted natural remedies, with pure ingredients. And noticing a significant gap in the New Zealand market, inspiration struck.
Antonio pitched his idea to his uncle, Zoran Barbalich, managing director of the award-winning global skincare brand Antipodes Nature. Zoran was so impressed he teamed up with his nephew, offering seed capital and invaluable wisdom. The pair reached out to chemist and naturopath, Michael Dong, to create their unique blends. After much hard work and many trials, they found three fine remedies.
The Sleep Remedy, which utilises the studied properties of valerian, ziziphus and passiflora, supports deeper levels of sleep and relaxation. The Stress Remedy contains withania, Californian poppy and liquorice to alleviate stress and anxiety, while the Travel Remedy uses ginger, kawakawa, ambra gris and cocculus to settle an upset stomach. All three remedies come in easy-to-use spray bottles and travel-friendly 30ml bottles.
All remedies contain 100% real time-tested ingredients, that allow nature to shine through and heal. They are free of artificial flavours, sweeteners, colours, gluten, yeast, and dairy. Packaging and bottles are environmentally friendly, as are the vegetable-based inks – all a testament to the company’s mission to honour nature and show that plant-based products make a fundamental difference in the way we feel and interact with others.
The full range is available from their website, as well as retailers such as Pharmacy Direct, The Chemist Warehouse, Commonsense Organics and Hardy’s.
